Joseph Stiglitz : The end of neoliberalism and the rebirth of history

[certainot]

84. trump 'ascended' mainly for two reasons - the 'left's' ignorance of talk radio, russian use of it

to undermine democracy, and the fact trump is a classic extreme case of sex on the wrong brain authoritarian

and leaving it to the kids is a today cop out. we let a 10% racist frightened sex on the wrong brain minority with aa bunch of radio stations and a few billionaire think tanks create this disaster while we listened to our music and GOTV and then we let the kids clean it up?

rw radio with linmbaugh policing it has been pushing the country to the right for 30 years. we let a few hundred think tank-scripted and coordinated blowhards create the alternate reality this sack of crap rides on. the kremlin figured out how good 1500 coordinated radio stations were for shortcircuiting democracy and got their revenge for voice of america kicking their butt around the world for 50 years.

putin got trump to study talk radio (apparently he's been listening to it for ten years), and then in 2014 sam nunberg says the trump got him to listen to 1000s of hours of it and send him reports the same year a russian troll says he got "a list of topics to write about"

and trump, a bad case of sowb, addicted to certainty that doesn't exist - so he has to create it. due to inherited factors or a tumor or brain lesion or maybe getting hit in the head, all his sex energy gets trapped in the 'left brain', causing sexual dysfunction, never satisfied, pushing the parts that do the numbers to more, bigger, faster, and he can't release it to the pleasure centers unless he does something violent or cruel to trigger extreme emotions or has to use starved creativity to rationalize another, lie, stupidity, oversimplification, or binary reduction to maintain his royal certitude - the only thing keeping him from collapsing into a blob of frightened jelly because of his total fear of nature and the infinite universe. just like hitler and most slaughtering dictators through the ages, having burned in faulty wiring as kids jacking off with the wrong hand and associating sex with guilt and violence, easing their irrational fear of uncertainty by trying to create absolutism and certainty by imposing control, destruction, order, and conformity on nature and the infinite universe and their unruly and diverse fellow humans. and looking good to their sowb authoritarian followers, who wait for that hit of certitude to ease their fears of a complicated world full of uncertainty - often represented by liberals because another guy on the radio lies about it repeatedly all day long with total royal certitude.

we can't wait for kids to save us, there's plenty to do
